What this tool is for
Add counters to list items with multiple numbering systems.
This kind of tool is most helpful when manual editing would be slower, more error-prone, or too opaque to verify quickly.
How insertion works on each unit
Add List Item Counter inserts new content into each relevant items. Position matters here. Adding something before a line, after a line, or around a value can change how the output is read downstream, even when the original content stays intact.
List tools usually treat each line or separator-delimited value as a discrete item, so separators and blanks affect the result.
This tool is deterministic: the same input and the same settings produce the same output every time. All processing happens in your browser, so your input stays on your device during the transformation.
Where this tool earns its keep

Spacing is controlled by the prefix or suffix values.
Input expectations and common surprises
Insertion tools are literal. If spacing around the added content matters, include that spacing in the prefix, suffix, or inserted text itself rather than assuming the tool will add it for you.
For deterministic tools, the same input and the same settings should reproduce the same result. If not, the input likely changed in a small but meaningful way.
